Is Sieve required by Mailsorting?
« on: September 21, 2017, 04:32:08 PM »
I installed Mailsorting contrib, but it does not appear to be sorting mail. I am wondering what I have overlooked.

I used the user-manager panel to set up a couple of rules. In my user directory, I see .mailfilter and .procmailrc files. I did not expect that. Each has the same date and time.

the db set up is as follows:
Code: [Select]
# db configuration show qmail
qmail=service
    FilterType=procmail
    MaxMessageSize=30000000
    status=enabled

I noticed a remark in the contrib wiki page in the section "Sieve compatibility". Is there a dependency on Sieve for Mailsorting on SME 9.2?

What other details might I check?

no it does not rely on sieve,it works before sieve.

from Mailsorting wiki page :https://wiki.contribs.org/Mailsorting#Configuration
you need to choose a global filter, let's use procmail

db configuration setprop qmail FilterType procmail
signal-event mailsorting-conf

then you need to configure some rules global or for each users.

either use the user-panel https://wiki.contribs.org/UserManager to do so or use the Email management contrib https://wiki.contribs.org/Email-Management
